De La Hoya & Mayweather Set Fight Date

Hatton would floor both the feckers. For the good of boxing, I hope De La Hoya knocks that cnut Mayweather out. Not too confident though.
 
How the hell did that first judge score it to De La Hoya? 115-113? What was he watching?

Mayweather a class apart tonight, kept the spped up for the duration. Some thought the partisan crowd woul've got to him, no sign of that.

BBC Fivelive had it 118-112 and 117-111 in favour of Mayweather, closer to the mark.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Mayweather hands down.

I was watching the fight and i thought it should have been a draw or a dela hoya win! he was the aggressor and a lot of mayweathers punches got blocked...how good was the last 15seconds of the fight though!! it was unreal...

Most of De La Hoyas punches were harmless, Mayweather was almost impossible to hit. His punches though were far more dangerous. Excellent fight and Mayweather clearly was the better, in every single aspect. Very good athlete and so damn quick, both defending and attacking.

Now he will step down he said.
His father does not work for De La Hoya anymore btw

I thought the opposite...well kind of.

I thought De la Hoya was the aggressor but most of his punches didn't land near Mayweather.

I thought Mayweather also got in the heaviest and most important punches and De La Hoya actually looked close to going down a couple of times.

You are right though, the last 15 seconds was sensational.
 
I hope Mayweather doesn't step down. He is in his peak and could really make himself huge.

I think he will come back. Perhaps in a re-match, the money might be too good to ignore.

As for Hatton fighting Mayweather.....He would die.
 
If Hatton beats Castillo then it should be...

Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Ricky Hatton

If Hatton put the amount of effort in he did againest Kostya Tszyu then it would be a marvellous fight to watch.

Just look at their records:

Floyd Mayweather Jr

W L D
38 0 0 (24KOS)

Ricky Hatton

W L D
42 0 0 (30KOS)

Its the fight everyone wants to see.
 
I'm no boxing expert but De La Hoya seemed to be showing all the aggression and putting in some good punches (which Mayweather took well admittedly). Especially in the first five rounds.

Mayweather landed some cleaner punches but lacked any strength to hurt Hoya and De La Hoya's tactics were to take those soft point-scoring touches in order to land his much heavier ones. Mayweather had excellent ground movement and punching speed, but no strength. It seemed judges only score on finger nails broken and piroquets performed rather than blood and thunder.

Mayweather was always going to win this fixed fight, even before the first bell tolled. Boxing is becoming like wrestling. Sad really, but money rules I guess. I remembered why I stopped watching the sport since Eubank's days.

How can you argue Mayweather had no strength?

The only fighter who looked like going down was De La Hoya and that was on several occasions.

De La Hoya barely touched Mayweather and landed hardly any significant punches.

Fixed fight? Not at all, it was clearly Mayweathers.

There's not enough money in it for Mayweather to risk his reputation by fighting Hatton... Boxing is all about the PPV $$$....
 
I just checked and Direct TV mail were charging $54.95 for this fight. :eek:
there's no way I'd pay that myself.
